Bullis. Points go toward building your fiefs (and are different from Family Points, though they can be converted to have a larger royal family)

[Flooby Badoop]

Bullis, but what you buy at creation isn't subtracted from your funds at the game's start. And yes, I do realize it's quite a bit of math, but Fortunes got it nailed there, I handle everything in-game.

[King Solterra]

To purchase armor/weapons is it per soldier? Or is armor and Weapon the tech level unlocked?

[Flooby Badoop]

It is per soldier, but there are templates for speeding up the process. If you just want 100 spearmen, then that costs 1000 bullis, and so forth. The arming of individual soldiers is for players who want customised forces.

I'm a grognard at heart. <3

House History

Pelataria - wealth bursting at the seams of her small holdings. The history of House Cole, and of Vetus Patriae (The Old Country, as Pelataria is often referred), began during the early stages of Lundland's history. The Overlord, looking to expand his holdings into the unorganized lands of the western peninsula, sent a scouting party led by the explorer Robert Pelas to report on the quality of the land. Abney made his way through what is now western Lundland, until his party made it to the great ocean. There, he found a land fertile plentiful in resources, with a magnificent natural seaport. In his journal he referred to the discovered land as "Palma" - a term for paradise. Pelas then eagerly returned to the Overlord who, intrigued by this new prospect, gave orders for a minor noble to settle the land. In the end he chose Pelas' father-in-law, Lord Tyler Cole, as the recipient to gain ownership of the land. In return for Robert's discovery of the land, the Overlord and Lord Cole both agreed on the name of the new holdings: Pelataria, the Land of Pelas.

[Flooby Badoop]

I adore the history, that's perfectly acceptable.

By my count, you still have a number more points to spend. You've spent 83 so far.

And Baileys/Military Baileys no longer exist. They're being sent out in favour of numerous new manor imporvements, which you'll be able to build in-game.

Have fun on your vay-cay, by the way!

[King Solterra]

For Towns, do they start as Wretched or Poor?
It said max is 3rd, does this mean we can't upgrade to Wealthy?

[Flooby Badoop]

It starts as Wretched, and yes, it means you can only upgrade to a max of Fair. Wealthy and Magnificent are out of bounds.

[King Solterra]

Given me too many points here! I thought we were starting small. Damn, had to redo my whole sheet, so many points!

[Ashgan]

Hi. A mind boggling amount of effort was put into this; I commend you. I should leave a message stating my interest in potentially joining since it's late and I will be going to sleep right about now, but lest the thread explode overnight or something, I just wanted to have it said. You'll hear from me again when I have something more concrete to post, or if I change my mind after all.

Oh, okay! I knew I was under a bit, I just wasn't sure by how much. But that's just draft one - I'll chip away at it whenever I have a free moment.

Thanks, Flooby!

Last game, people built too small. I expected people to have huge kingdoms when I gave them 60 points. Largest kingdom ended up being only 14 fiefs, while the average had 8. I vastly expanded the points and growth bonuses because otherwise, everyone would literally run out of troops to throw at each other after only a few annums. Besides, Lundland is supposed to be 200,000 sq miles, which is larger than France and the Low countries combined, so there'll be room. In comparison to real life French Dukes, you'll still be significantly less powerful and wealthy.

You're making me blush!

No worries, I have no idea how many people are going to be signing up for this, so I think you'll have time. If you need any help with the creation process, feel free to ask.

[ulsterwarrior]

Hello, sorry. I'm on vacation as well, and it was an almost eight hour car ride to get to my destination. I will have some opprutunities over the week to post, but if I do not, I am still here. I will get a sheet up hopefully tonight, but if not tomorrow or the following day. In the meantime, I would like to reserve that island in the north, if it is available. If not, the northern cape there would be a nice second, if possible.

[King Solterra]

Okay, so... apparently from where I am at, I have calculated everything... one of my towns could, not saying will, have over 5,000 people and still prosper greatly. This isn't going to break the game, is it?

Edit: Ahem, I meant, 5,000 soldiers.

It is indeed available, and no worries. I'd only like to start this once everyone is ready and has time for it.

@ Cale: Trust me, nothing you can do will break the game. The Overlord starts with a town of 11,000.

[King Solterra]

Population or soldiers of 11,000? I have a Pop for 1 Fief to be 18, and the town 16

But yeah. everyone will see I'm raising an army ingame, but I'm not raising it for a war. I like this little plot I just made...

[King Solterra]

Well, I planned for those 5k soldiers to have Plate, but that will have to be on the To-Do list for the forge. (Those 5k soldiers were going to take all my Bullis, just from armor and weapons, for initial cost)

[Flooby Badoop]

The bullis are just for measuring how many soldiers you start the game with. You'll start the game with a full annum's tax already collected.

And no, the Overlord starts with 4k soldiers, but they have a town with 11,000, another town with 5,000, a fief with 50k, another fief with 60k, then 35k, and lastly 4k, but which has a shittone of resources.

I'll be posting the revised Overlord and Church sheets tomorrow night. Got things to do tonight and tomorrow.

EDIT: For the sake of continuity, I'm thinking the game will start after the Bogans have already ravaged the crownlands, with what was posted in the last thread being more less canon, save for the lack of character deaths that happened via random rolls.

[King Solterra]

I think 40k+ peasants could kill 1k Mail armored soldiers, if they managed to kill the 4k xD So, yeah. Not raising to attack.

[Sovi3t]

Floopy, I don't want to delete important parts out of the sheets for my merc group, can you tell me what is needed?

Edit : Also can Merc groups start with 40 points if the opt to have a settlement or a camp?
